Parsing XML using unix terminal

by

Peter’s answer is correct, but it outputs a trailing line feed.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
  <xsl:output method="text"/>
  <xsl:template match="root">
    <xsl:for-each select="myel">
      <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
      <xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
      <xsl:if test="not(position() = last())">
        <xsl:text>&#xA;</xsl:text>
      </xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Just run e.g.

xsltproc stylesheet.xsl source.xml

to generate the CSV results into standard output.
